Abstract

The microwave spectra of a large molecule is sensitive to both the structure of the molecule and as well as its motion along different vibrational coordinates. Chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave (CP-FTMW) spectroscopy is an exciting new technique that makes possible the reading of the complete microwave spectrum of a gas phase sample using a single 1 µs pulse. In this report, we will describe the recent introduction of a laser ablation nozzle for the study of small biomolecules using this technique. Potential applications of the technique to other samples also will be described.
